Things left unsaid

I'm sorry.
You hurt me.
I was wrong.
I love you.
I don't love you.
I never loved you.
I am in love with you.
I have always loved you.
I lied.
I was mean and vindictive.
I was stubborn.
You were cruel.
I don't want you to go.
I need you to leave.
What will it take?
I don't know.
Stop!
I can't give you what you want.
Please stay.
I could use a friend right now.
If you don't love me, please say so.
Forgive me.
I forgive you.
Trust me.
I trust you.
I love you.
Love me.

The list could go on and on.  Words that spring from raw emotion that want to be heard and felt.  Words that are left pendulous in our mouths, so close to freedom, but are withheld.  Words that remain in our heads are but specters of thought that can grow into disruptive and destructive stories we use to scare ourselves.  They become excuses we use to keep us stagnant and insignificant.  Things left unsaid have the potential of leading to lives that are left unrealized, relationships that are left toxic, and love that is left unfulfilled.  Say what you need to say.
